Great points Jim but sadley in England educated reasoned & inteligent logic & deduction doesnt win in courts.

Today in england for instance All folding lock blades are illegal in public, even if the blade is just 1 inch long [unless on religious etc, grounds.] due to a law introduced to ban non folding knives outside of ones own house. They police arrested a man for having a lock knife & charged him with having a fixed blade. The jury agreed & so in English law that creates a precedence which then becomes the interpritation of the law. So know thats how the law is inforced.

The currant interpritation "“a curved, single edged sword (sometimes known as a “samurai sword”)”. if used will be usualy inforced blindly, That said untill there is a final definition its hard to truly know what it will effect.
